lol i know, since i put the new lights in i feel like i can sit there and watch it grow. or maybe im baked :bigjoint: . idont know. but i keep the hangers on it whenever im not taking pics, it doesnt really matter though i have plenty of room in the closet my objective was to grow it like this and get better light coverage which i believe might be working. we shall see in the yeild : )

I just read your thread...Good idea on pulling the plant to the side..Ive done the same thing, I just used some string and tied it to the pot with a hook. It makes your plant have multiple tops when it starts to fill out..On my plant I pulled like 5 clones off of it, and it is still bushy..Here is my plant(white rhino)

The first pic is with her sisters..They are flowering now, and the second pic is after her haircut.

Looking good man.. wish I could help you regarding the droopy leaves but I'm a noob myself. I'd lean on overwatering though. Will definitely keep an eye on this grow. :blsmoke:

I've got a similar problem though and realized it was due to heat.

yeah i have been varying the water past few weeks trying to figure out if im over/under but i cant figure it out lol : ( the buds are as big as my friends last plant during his 6th week of flowering while im starting my 3rd today and he yeilded 3 oz for his plant... the plant was a diff strain though

update: buds bigger and bigger, leaves about the same droopy even after i watered today, over all plant looks healthy and bud is getting covered in crystals. i have heard that its good to have humidity in a grow room for vegetative growth and good to have it dry (as long as the temp is low enough) for the plant to pump for crystals to the buds, either of these true?

I've read the same; that a dry growroom stimulates thc production. Are temperature and PH both ok? May be just a characteristic of the plant to be droopish. Some willow voodoo or somesuch.

where do i get a soilchecker or whatever will check my water? and what do you guys think is best to buy to check ph? i started with organic soil and have just been watering with a light amount of big bloom and earthworm castings. im about to have to buy some nutes too if anyone wants to recomend a good veg and or flowering nutes that would be great.

you can get one at home depot..it checks soil pH too..I dont know how accurate that is tho..But it is good for checking soil moisture...As far as nutes I'm using FoxFarm GrowBig for Veg, and Tiger Bloom for flower. I also have some other goodies from Humboldt's own. You should water your plants with a pH from 6.0-6.5..

told you. grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom. all the shit broponics hasnt sent me yet. i've been mixing the 0-2-1 organic, some .1-0-1 (seaweed), 5-1-1(fish), + that sugar in order to make up for the lack of BB. the purps look fuckin dandy but your plant's sisters are droopy as shit too- but the buds. yea. i wouldnt worry bro, everything looks fine. just need some damn ferts.
